Youngster Adam McQuaid dealt out his share of punishment in his first NHL season, but was on the losing end when he threw down with the Sharks’ Ben Eager in February.

The two dropped the gloves after a few minutes of pushing and shoving along the boards, and the bout did not last long. McQuaid opened with a few quick jabs, but Eager handcuffed the young Bruin and got off two hard shots to the face before wrestling McQuaid to the ice.
